Australia 371 for 8 (Perry 105, Voll 101, Litchfield 60, Mooney 56, Thakor 3-62) vs India

Voll, who replaced injured captain Alyssa Healy for the series, got Australia going and backed up their unbeaten tally of 46 on debut, scoring 101 from 87 balls to underline their strong form after an eye-catching WBBL.

As Australia’s young stars offered another glimpse of the future, Perry turned back the clock with stunning power strokes to become her country’s fourth player to reach 4000 ODI runs.

It was another dismal performance for India, who have been badly outmatched so far in this three-match series as their bid to secure their first win of the series over Australia in Australia looks hopeless.

Mani was India’s only change from the first ODI as they supported their struggling top team who will need to shoot together if the tourists are to mount a monumental comeback.

Australia made one change from the first game: Sophie Molineux, who captained the Melbourne Renegades to their first WBBL title, returned from knee pain to replace Georgia Wareham.

After Australia bowled India out for just 100 on Thursday, captain Tahlia McGrath resisted the temptation to bowl first and her batters had to line up at the front in potentially difficult opening conditions as the game started at 9.45am local time.

But they bowled too much and the runs started flowing as Litchfield hit a four on his second delivery before Voll took over with four boundaries in six balls, taking Australia to a flyer.

Litchfield had some luck at 5 after mis-hitting Thakor down the middle, but Priya Punia missed a chance to jump forward.

It proved costly as captain Harmanpreet Kaur capitalized on spin from Deepti Sharma and Priya Mishra in the powerplay but to no avail.

Voll’s maturity continues to impress as she used her feet brilliantly against the spinners but was careful not to over-hit. Her driving also stood out as she reached her half-century off 43 balls.

Litchfield had been largely overshadowed before she got her innings going with well-executed reverse sweeps and rolled to a 59-ball 50. They were completely unconcerned until Voll, on 64, was deceived and given lbw by a superb googly from Mishra, who impressed late in the first over, before the successful ball-tracking check suggested it would miss leg stump.

India were finally rewarded in the next over when Litchfield beat Thakor straight to cover, but the respite was fleeting as Perry was in an aggressive mood as she unleashed her trademark lofted attack to devastating effect.

Fully raced towards a century and her only scare was 86 when, after attempting a quick single, she was almost run out by a direct hit from Mani, but left her bat on the ground just in time.

It wasn’t long before Voll flipped Mani to the leg side to bring up her century, calmly raising her bat and helmet as her proud mother beamed to the applause in the stands.

Voll was unable to continue after leaving behind a long throw from Thakur, but Perry took over with a flawless century from 72 balls, having previously scored 7,000 runs across all formats in international cricket.

She eventually had to concede defeat to Mani, who claimed her first ODI wicket before adding Molineux in a rare moment of joy for India.
